Friends of Education for African Children Orphaned by AIDS (FEACOBA) was established to support educational programs and opportunities for African children orphaned by AIDS. The focus is African Children from Pre K, K-8 who are orphaned by AIDS in Africa. The Friends of Education for African Children Orphaned by AIDS is a charity project of Irene Menakaya School, a Private School established in August 1979 in Onitsha, Anambra State, Nigeria.

Through our Adopt Education Scheme at Irene Menakaya School, Friends of Education for African Children Orphaned by AIDS believe that by encouraging respect and responsibility among the parents, teachers and pupils, African Children from less privileged situations and children orphaned by AIDS would become self-directed.
